Fire officials say the blaze ripped through a Murrieta home early Monday morning
MURRIETA, CA — Murrieta fire officials are investigating the cause Monday of an early morning blaze that ripped through a local home, Murrieta Fire & Rescue reports. Though no injuries were reported in the fire, crews did use a specialized pet oxygen mask to help save a cat that was found unresponsive inside the burning building.
The incident happened around 12:30 a.m. in the 27000 block of Tube Rose Street, in the Greer Ranch area, according to fire officials and witness reports.
When crews got to the scene, they found the fire first in the garage. It soon spread to the home's attic and the roof eventually partially collapsed, witnesses reported.
Pulled from the home was a black cat, which was not moving at the time. Thanks to the care of firefighters and a special oxygen mask designed just for pets, the cat was alert and responsive again within about 15 minutes.
Crews from both Murrieta and the Riverside County Fire Department's Temecula area helped contain the fire in about two hours.
